white and black stussy shirts

[prufrock]

the black and white stussy shirts are classics. but when ever i wash them, the black gets silkscreen gets faded in one wash. any way around this? brand new stussy shirts are always sick. just never wash them. haha.

-later days.

ps. quit wearing the stussy love/hate shirts. everyone and their moms wear them. i bought mine the first day they had them in frisco. i havent been able to wear it since cause all you fuckers have it. lol.

Uhh this hasn't happened to my on love t yet and I've washed it 3 times. I think you may be washing it in some wierd way that causes it to do that. I've has it happen to a few of my t's pretty fast but I have no idea what I did to cause it. I agree completly on the love/hate t though, when I first saw it, it looked pretty cool but thank god I didn't buy it. It doesn't look all that nice anymore, a bunch of kids wearing it doesn't really help.

What kind of detergent do you use? I use Woolite Dark on all my black tees and they still look new. But then again, I have like 30 black tees so I never wear one shirt more than twice in one month.

unless your shirts are crazy stained, wash them on the coldest water temperature setting possible. since silkscreen inks are cured using heat, more heat will cause the pigment to fade. bathing ape tees fade like crazy and always look shitty after one wash, too. it depends on the quality of the ink, but cold water should help.

oh no, my black stussy shirts retain color pretty well. they stand up to wear and wash pretty good.

im talking about to white tees with black silkscreens. the black parts turn to a greyish color. kinda like a fuzz of white lint is covering it, but upon closer inspection the ink itself has lightened. my
